The winner will be announced in late March. Assassination Classroom was ranked #1 among readers of Enterbrain's Otona Fami magazine for the "2012-nen Kore Yonde Manga Ranking Best 50" list.

I recommend Last Game XD! That manga is epic XD! Orange (by Takano Ichigo) and Hibi Chouchour are pretty good too :D. But if you want to read some josei with a fantastic and deep plot then you should read Honey and Clover ^^

well that's just how her personality is so to answer your question yes. BUT as you read along you'll see that she'll change as the story progress ^^. Also, her personality (and of course Yanagi's personality asa wel ;)) is what makes this manga interesting :D. This is a must read manga so I suggest you read it :D! I assure you that it will be worth the time :)

I think Pochamani is kinda unique..the story is about a popular boy who likes soft and squishy things and someone who likes chubby people (A LOT).Ofcourse the heroine girl has a chubby body, but she has a positive attitude and liked by many peopleso far it's a good story, but there are only three chapters availabe (in english) so I haven't been able to judge further

hibi chouchou is so cute, but its progressing so sloworange is a masterpiece, seriously. I need new chapterslove so life is about the girl becoming some kind of a baby sitter right? havent got the time to read itanyway thanks!

Ore Monogatari!! : unusual lead male role for shoujo manga xDDMIX : made by my favourite mangaka Adachi-san ^^Shiki no Zenjitsu : compilation of slice of life oneshotsPochamani : (copy from my comment above) the story is about a popular boy who likes soft and squishy things and someone who likes chubby people (A LOT).
